Analog Audio Input Connections (Continued)…
RCA line level Input Jacks (inputs 1-5)
Source inputs 1–5 all have the same input sensitivity and input impedance and they are
compatible with any typical analog line level source.
Note:
Input 5 is shared with the XLR balanced input connectors, therefore the
RCA and XLR jacks for input 5 should not be connected at the same time.
XLR Balanced Input (input 5)
Input 5 also uses balanced XLR type jacks. Use this input to connect an analog source which
has balanced XLR outputs. A balanced line provides superior hum and noise cancellation,
especially for long cable runs.
Note:
Input 5 is shared with the XLR balanced input, therefore the RCA and
XLR jacks for Input 5 should not be connected at the same time.
Front Panel Aux Input
For your convenience there is an input jack on the front panel for a portable MP3 player or
mobile phone. Connect the included cable with 3.5 mm stereo plugs between your portable
player or phone’s headphone jack and the Halo Integrated’s Aux input jack. The Aux input has
an additional gain stage that boosts the input signal by 12 dB so that the volume level remains
consistent when you select your other audio sources. For the best result set your portable
player or phone’s volume to at least 75% of its maximum level.
Note:
If you connect a component other than a portable MP3 player or phone to the Aux
Input jack, the volume level will probably be too high and likely distorted.
